LOL, it's supposed to be more than just a bottle holder! It's sold as a Car Lap-Tray. If you notice, it would fit snugly on a passenger's lap, with the two cupholders/bottleholders helping to keep it in place. It's a full fledged tray in its own right!
There is this additional bracket that helps to mount it at the head restraint.
Cost is about Rs.250/-.

The blackened tail reflectors makes the rear look almost like the older gen Scorp... which looked better anyway IMHO

The alloy wheels on my scorpio are 15 inchers. Costed Rs:4,500 per wheel(when i installed them during June 2007).

The tires are Goodyear Wrangler AT/R 255/70/r15 - Rs:5,650 per tire (when i bought them during June 2008).

You are not wrong, but my scorpio is a non-crde version(1st gen) which came with 15 inch rims as stock.

LOL, I see where the problem is!
They think that black Scorpio you posted with blacked out rear lights is the one you own!

Oh, i get it now.

@ vinaydas: If you were asking about the alloys & wheels on the black(getsurya's) scorpio mhawk in post #902, they are 16" Aura alloys(model no:F11665 , PCD: 139.7-160) and bridgestone dueler H/T 235/70/r16 tires.

bbs, congrats dude. Thanks for the replies too.By the way, mHawk is super to own!!

Anupji, good catch.

I think we need more spice in this Scorpio forum.

To begin with, let us all post pics and specs with costs of our ICE system. I am typing this down now not to let the idea trail off. I shall post mine on the weekend friends.!

ICE in my Scorpio (some pics in my garage):

Head unit: Pioneer DEH-P4050UB head unit with iPod+USB adapter cables
2-way Front Component Speakers: Illusion Electra EL6.1
Rear Fill Speakers: Pioneer 6"x9" Coaxials
Amplifier: Ground Zero Titanium 120 MKČ
Connection wires: Scosche e2 wiring kit plus additional Scosche speaker wire & RCA cable
Full Damping (Noisekill) for the front doors
Custom-made speaker locations for front doors

Entire setup cost about 20k. Component speakers and amp were purchased from another Team BHPian when he was upgrading his setup.

I wanted a subwoofer in the setup but since I have a 8 seater (last row seating, not 2 jump seats), there's no place to put a sub. Only option is to keep the rear seat folded at most times. This is something I might think of doing down the line. In any case, the ICE sounds very nice now. The Illusion components are super and they run very well off the GZ amp.
